Transfusion-associated bacterial infections continue to occur which may be due the formation of biofilms on inner surface blood bag. Plasticized poly (vinyl chloride) (p-PVC) platelet storage bags in three roughness states (rough, smooth and flattened) were used determine effect that a conditioning film (CF) human plasma had properties its interaction with Staphylococcus epidermidis Serratia ma...

The Ra EDM experiment uses a pair of high voltage electrodes to search for the atomic electric dipole moment $^{225}$Ra. We use identical, plane-parallel with primary gradient surface 200 mm$^2$ generate reversible DC fields. Our statistical sensitivity is linearly proportional field strength in electrode gap. adapted decontamination and processing techniques from accelerator physics literature...

Contact driven tasks, such as surface conditioning operations (wiping, polishing, sanding, etc.), are difficult to program in advance be performed autonomously by a robotic system, specially when the objects involved moving. In many applications, human-robot physical interaction can used for teaching, learning from demonstrations frameworks, but this solution is not always available. Robot tele...

Liberation of the sequestrated bioactive molecules from dentine by the action of applied dental materials has been proposed as an important mechanism in inducing a dentinogenic response in teeth with viable pulps. Although adhesive restorations and dentine-bonding procedures are routinely practiced, clinical protocols to improve pulp protection and dentine regeneration are not currently driven ...

1. In the unanesthetized spinal cord, conditioning stimulation of low-threshold afferents (below 1.3 times threshold strength) in the biceps semitendinosus (BST) nerve often reduced the peak amplitude of the monosynaptic Ia EPSPs evoked in gastrocnemius motoneurons without affecting the monosynaptic component of the EPSPs evoked by stimulation of the ipsilateral ventral funiculus (VF) in the th...
